Page 2 The State Port Pilot Southport, N. G. Published Every Wednesday JAMES M. HARPER, JR Editor (On Leave of Absence, In U. S. N. R.) Entered as second-class matter April 20, 1928, at the Post Office at Southport, N. C., under the Act of March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES ONE YEAR $1.50 SIX MONTHS 1.00 THREE MONTHS - 75 Wednesday, February 14, 1945 Started Something Prof. Glenn M. Tucker, head of the Boliv:a high school, has really started something during the past two weeks. The ( lid is not yet in sight and will not be until the legislature does something about teacher's pay. The day is gone when intelligent men and women can afford to pay the cost if college education and training to become teachers at the salaries that the state pays its teachers. Mr. Tucker, faced by repeated vacancies in his teaching force, inserted a classified advertisement in daily newspapers in Charlotte, Raleigh and Greensboro. In that advertisement he described conditions as they were and are. His advertisement is reproduced in full below: TEACHER WANTED FOR BOLIVIA HIGH SCHOOL If you have had no professional training the state allows $71.33 per month. If you have spent several thousand dollars for four years of teaching experience you will receive $158.00 a month, provided, in this case, your certificate is for mathematics, otherwise $148.00. Also, with-holding tax must be deducted, therefore, net monthly <4 salary is from $54?$135.00. Your work will Ire dealing with nothing more important than the minds of the children upon whose shoulders will fall the task of maintaining the peace which is to fdllow this war. Why should you expect much pay for this type of work? The work is easy. Lesson studies and plans, papers to grade, teaching of classes, extra-curricular activities, etc., will not require more than 12-15 Ebeurs per day. We will not lay claim to the lialanee of your time. Better apply parly as we expect to choose from the first 100 applicants (we also need a music teacher and will choose her from the same group). The person chosen to teach mathe maucs win omy De me iourtn leacner tnis year, not sixth to eighth as in some schools. Average cost of room and board will only be i.hout $40.00 per month. Apply in person or write? GLENN M. TUCKER, Principal, Bolivia, N. C. Less than one-tenth of the teachers of North Carolina are men and probably ltss than one-fifth of these male teachers are qualified for military service. The shortage of teachers is not due to military needs, but rather it is due to the fact that educated men and women cannot clothe and feed themselvi# on the money they receive for , afcie months work under the present HUaiies that are paid teachers. X Unskilled labor now makes about the wages that are paid the ave^^age teacher and it goes without saying that the expense of unskilled labor is much less than that of the man or worm q n wVio ie o>wn<4 wri^k -? .. v<?m? ?? iiv ao vnaigcu W1WI tHC CA" tremely responsible work of looking after the children. Mr. Tucker's advertisement has not yet brought one of the desired results. No one has applied for the vacancy. On the other hand it has brought some badly needed reactions. That little advert sement has evolved itself into the editorial columns of more than a dozen of North Carolina's leading newspapers. Weekly and semi-weekly newspapers are joining in the chorus of protest. In Mr. Tucker's office this week we saw a large letter file stuffed with editorial clippings, letters and cards commending the Brunswick county Educator for being candid and outspoken on this deplorable condition. With the existing war conditions the Noith Carolina General Assembly is not called upon to do much at the present session. But, one thing that should be done, a thing they cannot afford to neglect, is to provide for school teacher salaries adequate and attractive enough to interest trained men and women in teaching the youth of North Carolina. Merited Rebuke From the very beginning of this war THE ; France, the Spanish Dictator, has been allied as near as he dared with both Germany and Italy. A strong friend of Hitler, it was perhaps nothing but fear of the United States that deterred the Spanish Dictator from throwing in with Germany, just as Italy and Japan did. Spain did not enter the war; but until Germany began to lose, France sat on the fence, helped his friend all he could and let the world know that his sympathies were with the Axis nations. Engaged in vigorous back pedaling for over a year now, Spain recently took a strange path and proposed to England that England and Spain enter into an alliance against Russia. It was a strange request, but the response was not strange. Prime Minister Winston Churchill bluntly advised the Spanish upstart just what he thought of the Spanish attitude during the first years of the war. He went on to advise that Russia, England and the United States could proceed without his advice. May Take Time According to well informed sources, Brunswick county may be without a Home Demonstration Agent until the present session of school ends in the late spring. There is only a slight pos sibilit yof securing a worker before that time. The close of the school session will release a number of teachers who are qualified for the work and the chances of getting a competent demonstrator will be better then. Until a worker is secured to replace Miss Norfleet, County Agent J. E. Dodson will carry on with the Home Gardens, Poultry and some other club work that is usually looked after by the Home Demonstrator. The county will have a Home Demonstrator as soon as a competent and available worker can be secured. This may take time, and in the meanwhile there is nothing to keep our Brunswick county women from going right ahead and doing the best they can without one. World Asset Perhaps not everyone realizes what a great world asset has developed from the Boy Scout Movement. The problems that will face the democratic nations in a post-war world will not be merely economic. They will be psychological as well. Whole countries will have to develop new habits of thinking and foster a spirit of cooperation with each other based on mutual tolerance and respect. Around the world the Scout Movement for over three decades has proved to be an effective means of building understanding and good-will among youth. Before the war the world Scout membership numbered more than three millions. Over seventy lands had Boy Scouts, all with the same ideals and enjoying practically the same program. Their regularly scheduled world jamboree or camps brought together every four years 25,000 and 50,000 boys from all over the world. The International friendships formed by these boys have spread in ever widening circles. Both Mussolini and Hitler feared the power of Scouting and abolished the Scout organizations in their countries in favor of their own heel-clicking, hatefostering youth programs. In the invaded countries they have persecuted Scouts with special vindictiveness. But Scouts met in secret and kept in touch with each other through the International Scout Bureau in London. They are prepared to take up where they left off as each country is liberated. Now the Boy Scouts of America in observing their 35th Anniversary takes the theme "Scouts of the World? Brothers Together." The principles engendered by the Boy Scout Program have the chance to be one of the strong links in universal world peace. The New Link Few industries will enter the postwar era with a wider field of operation before them, than will air transport. For increased business, the world is its market. No longer will it be confined to one country. This fact, however, will create problems because the companies will become subject to a multiplicity of regulations by various governments. The coordination of airplanes with existing methods of transportation, including trucks, express, railroads, steamships, and storage warehouses, is essential to give our nation the last word in transport service. The people of the United States are such great travelers and shippers that it will take the combined facilities of every agency to meet their needs. / iTATE PORT PILOT, SOUTH1 e WISE : AND S Otlierwise 1( a > Great interest nowadays seems ^ to be shown by the two troops j of Boy Scouts in Southport. E ' -j M. McEachern has taken over the s, older boys and Cecil Alligood con- f, tinues with the Cubs. r Last week, in observance of b Scout Week, the boys were run- h ning all over town getting the tl materials collected for their window displays. Then Saturday aft- ii ernoon they went around town 1< collecting paper for the scrap V drive which all scout troops in ei America are sponsoring. o Lots of people will agree that this is fine activity for these P boys. They deserve the coopera- " tion of everyone in Southport:. ^ Very often we are very lax in " Southport about telling folks a when we appreciate what they're f' doing, so next time you see either of the scout leaders, or the f< boys, for that matter, you might ti tell them that you're behind them in their efforts. f And then the next time they I call on you for help of any kind, see that you give it to them.
